Monday in the Pond with George
"I have reached an age when,
if someone tells me to wear
socks, I don't have to."
Albert Einstein
Einstein was up the road
at Princeton when I was growing up in that area. Despite his genius, I do recall some people disapproving of his habit of
not wearing socks. Even as I kid, I wanted to tell them: "He's a genius who's changed our world with his thoughts. What have YOU done with your proper attire?!"
Never did. Wanted too. Thinking about it now, this insight
is what gave me the courage to let my freak flag fly in many ways back in the "Hippie" days. Thank You Einstein!
"How old would you be if you
didn't know how old you was?"

"Too many people,
when they get old,
think that they have to
live by the calendar."
John Glenn
US Senator (and pioneering astronaut)
Glenn went on a mission aboard
the U.S. Space Shuttle at age 77
Here's to senior's.
They've been through a lot!
No one has the experience they've got.
Whoever, wherever; Deserving respect.
Zen like they savor This Minute - Today
with deep courage and gratitude
just keeping along the way.
Thank YOU
for walking with
US!

Well Satchel, I'd be as old as I am right now. What ever that might be.
Love that bird - rocking a bad feather day.
And I don't remember when I last wore socks.
So sweet that man and his dog paddle around.
Paddle, paddle. :-) Beautiful photo.
Greetings from London.
Little did M. Einstein realise that he was starting a trend even way back then 😊 it's more than acceptable to not wear socks with sneakers these days.. he was always ahead of his time!
I love each of you! Thanks for your companionable remarks 🎈
Great post! Let your freak flag fly, Cloudia; you are always so much fun!! I love the dog on the kayak.
The dog seems accustomed to the water.
I love that Satchel Paige quote. My dad thinks that he is 63 and not 95!

Oh, that we would all live so long!
Age answer 25 going on 16! Hehehe! Funny thing about those socks, it seems these days no one wears socks any more and certainly not even nylons!

Thank you for these perspectives on age. They're very appropriate...my birthday's tomorrow. (And I feel older than usual because I have a cold.)
Happy birthday Kay. We can do this together
🍊😎
Thanks each of you!
